I have a flux wire mig welder. It has 90amps and i want to know if i could use this to weld aluminum. It is all electric and no gas.

dont think so, pretty sure you're gonna need tig or nada.

absolutezroo

no you can't weld aluminum with a flux core.. and you can only weld aluminum with tig and you have to toy with polarity and ---- like that..try using google to get some info if you read up on it you can figure it out

You can do aluminum with a mig but need a conversion kit. Even then it sucks.

you need a mig, wire feeds are weak sauce

A wire feed welder is not a mig.A mig is set up to be used with shielding gas.

a MIG with only PURE ARGON and +ve power can weld aluminium with a conversion kit. I'm waiting on mine still, I'll do a write up on it when I get it.

or bust a nut and get a spool gun. other wise tig is the awnser for anything under 1/8 alluminum.

Man those guns are expensive!

mig and flux are weak sauce period! I regret getting my mig even though it is a nice unit. Wifey just granted permission for a tig though
